Dualistic Unity

One year ago today, before Dualistic Unity was even considered, we had our very first discussion about the ego, presence, belief, the danger of concepts, the nature of our dualistic existence, and more. That discussion led to this podcast and the growth of an incredible community. To celebrate, we wanted to revisit that episode and share it with you.  Join us for live group discussions every week on Patreon!
